Bright, crisp and effortlessly refreshing, this Muscadet Sur Lie is packed with citrus, green apple and a subtle saline note that captures its Atlantic origins. Aged on its lees to add texture and a gentle creaminess, it remains wonderfully lively, with a clean, mouth-watering finish that keeps you coming back for another sip. It's a natural match for freshly shucked oysters, but is equally at home alongside grilled prawns, seafood linguine or a simple picnic by the coast.

Domaine des Herbauges has been crafting wines in the Loire Valley for generations, with a strong focus on sustainable viticulture and expressing the freshness and purity of the region's vineyards. Their La Roche Blanche is a classic example of Muscadet at its best—honest, vibrant and made for drinking young while its bright fruit and mineral character are at their most expressive.

Vintage report

The 2025 vintage hasn't happened yet — we're still firmly planted in 2024, watching this year's grapes ripen along the Loire. While we'd love to peer into our crystal decanter and predict what nature has in store, even our most enthusiastic soothsaying has its limits. What we can tell you is that the Loire continues to deliver some of France's most thrilling wines, vintage after vintage, from the mineral-driven Muscadet of the Atlantic coast to the profound Cabernet Franc of Chinon and Bourgueil.

For now, we're busy celebrating the brilliant 2022s that are drinking superbly, the structured 2020s that reward patience, and the occasional treasure from earlier decades that reminds us why Loire wines age so gracefully. Check back with us in late 2025 when we've actually tasted what the vines produce, rather than what our imagination conjures. We promise the wait will be worth it — the Loire rarely disappoints, and when it does deliver, we'll be the first to tell you exactly why you should be excited.

OUR GROWERS

Domaine des Herbauges

Domaine des Herbauges is a family-owned estate in Bouaye, just south-west of Nantes, where the Choblet family have been growing vines for several generations. The estate is rooted in the Côtes de Grandlieu, one of Muscadet's most distinctive terroirs, with vineyards influenced by the nearby Lac de Grand-Lieu and the Atlantic climate. Farming is carried out with a strong emphasis on sustainability, while low yields and careful vineyard management ensure concentration and freshness in the fruit. In the cellar, extended ageing on the lees is a hallmark of the estate's style, adding texture and complexity while preserving the bright, saline character that defines great Muscadet.
